成唯識論演祕 2.123

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [2.123](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1833.2.123)

答：無實極微能生麁色，所以頓變不以微成。故《瑜伽論》第三云：於色聚中曾無極微，若從自種生時唯聚集生，或細、或中、或大，又非極微集成色聚，故知麁色而但頓變。

> Answer: There are no real atoms capable of generating gross matter; therefore it transforms suddenly and is not formed of atoms. Hence fascicle three of the \*Yogācārabhūmi\* states: Within an aggregate of matter there have never been atoms; when arising from their own seeds, they arise solely as aggregations—whether subtle, middling, or gross; moreover, matter-aggregates are not formed by the accumulation of atoms. Therefore we know that gross matter simply transforms suddenly.
